Maybe if you put the CDROM on the other SCSI port and the hard drive on the other one, it might work? I dont know if Linux boots from a CD like windoze systems can, and so forth, or like a Mac system can, it boots from a CD even without a hard drive, it might be worth a try.. It might be seeing the CDROM and not checking for a hard drive and not booting the CD since Windoze usually has to load Windoze first, then boot a CD up...
